Purpose: Starts MemMaker which is a program that lets you
optimize your
computer`s memory (new with DOS Version 6).

Discussion

The MemMaker program moves device drivers and memory-resident programs to
upper
memory in order to optimize your computer`s memory. Your computer must
have an
80386 or 80486 processor and extended memory. You cannot use this
command while
Windows is running.

Options

/B Displays MemMaker in black and white.
/batch - Runs MemMaker in batch (unattended) mode. Using this
option,
MemMaker will take the default action at each prompt. If an error
occurs, the
program will restore your previous CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and (if
necessary)
Windows SYSTEM.INI files. After running MemMaker, you can use a text
editor to
view status messages in the MEMMAKER.STS file.

/session - Used exclusively by MemMaker during the optimization
process.

/swap:d - Specifies the letter of the original startup disk drive.
It is
only necessary to use this option if the startup disk drive has changed
since
your computer was started.

/T - Disables the detection of IBM Token-Ring networks. You should
use this
switch if your computer includes this network and you are having problems
running MemMaker.

/undo - Allows you to undo the most recent changes made by MemMaker.
When the
MemMaker program is run, it makes changes to your CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT
files. If your system doesn`t work properly after MemMaker is complete,
you can
return to the previous configuration by starting MemMaker with the /UNDO
option.

/W:size1,size2 - Specifies the amount of upper-memory space to be
reserved for Windows translation buffers. Two areas of upper memory are
required by Windows for its translation buffers. Size1 specifies the
size of
the first region and Size2 the size of the second region. If not
specified,
MemMaker will not reserve upper memory for Windows.

Example

To run MemMaker in batch mode enter,
memmaker /batch
To undo the recent changes made by MemMaker, enter,
